Summer Escapes Ring Pool 14x36 losing water?

[damone17]

Hey guys I'm new to this forum and I'm looking for some help on this issue that I keep having with my pool. We purchase a pool for our kids the summer escapes ring pool 14x36, so the filter that comes with that pool it's a total waste. The guy at Leslie's store told me to get a sand pump filter Intex 1200 GPH krystal Clear sand pump filter. When I leave the filter on overnight, I wake up to the pool with the water half way. I don't see a leak anywhere, what could be causing this?

I assume it didn't do this with the old pump and filter? Sorry, but there's got to be a leak somewhere. Either that, or a lot of thirsty wildlife.

No not at all, I'm going to check again but this always happens when I sand filter is on.

If you leave the filter off at night do you have the same issue? There is either a leak or your nice friendly neighbors are getting some free water

By any chance do you have a large outdoor dog? If he's getting in and out of the pool, the rings on those are easy to push down and let the water escape. If that's what's happening, you should see some evidence of the grass being pushed down someplace.

Well, last night I had to fill the pool again and didn't turn the filter at all. I woke this morning with that same issue.
Thanks for the input

No, we don't have a dog. I'm going to check very carefully tonight and see if there's a leak.
